I was a bit confused when I read this quote, "If I'm batting at the end with Peter Forrest, there's a fair chance we win the game." Must have the wrong player, surely.

Chris Lynn is clearly a different player than Rohrer. Would be like comparing Chris Gayle and Brett Lee.

Lynn is a top order player, which australia have plenty of, Rohrer is a middle/lower order finisher, which we currently have Bailey doing. Rohrer is better at that role.

The biggest compliment I can give Rohrer is that he is the closest thing in domestic short form cricket to Mike Hussey. I nearly included him but I'm a Bailever (doesn't work does it) so he makes my team as captain at number 5, one spot higher than he stupidly currently bats for Hobart.

The first thing that annoys me is Cutting being picked in his worst format. Haddin is a meh selection, I don't really want him opening, I would rather a younger guy take his spot. Henriques and Faulkner are unlucky.

Actually not really sure if its wise getting 10 overs out of Maxwell and Dussey, further illustrating why Henriques at 7 would be the ideal option.

While it looks bad on first viewing, I don't actually think the squad is as bad as I first felt. Khawaja and Cutting are the only real names there that don't warrant a spot.

I think I said this last year. Standing by it #bigben4evr
